We both stopped playing for a while but when we did, we farmed a lot. We farmed and got our gear, just like you did. In fact, I played 10-15 hrs a day back in SB when I finished school and stayed home a couple years. I farmed a lot for my uniques and then all of a sudden, rates increased and uniques started raining. I know how annoying it is but in this case, I think it's necessary. Again, it's not like we want our efforts to be waste but there are people who still don't have their jewels and they've been playing for years, just couldn't spend as much time playing because of work or w/e. It's time to move on from the jewel thing and focus on the future updates to come.
